Kabuto walked into the kitchen after leaving Lord Orochimaru room to start cooking some dinner for the night. He grabbed a pot decided to make some more soup. As well as a nice cup of tea with some honey to help with Orohcimaru's throat and clogged up nose.

He grabbed some butter, half an onion, 28 ounces of tomatoes, and some sea salt. He decided to go with tomato soup for dinner tonight. Once the ingredients were all gathered up, he began placing them into the pot full of water.

'This soup should hopefully help Lord Orochimaru feel better. So should his sleeping as long as another nightmare doesn't disturb him.' Kabuto thought as he mixed up the ingredients adding a little bit of pepper.

When it was all mixed on up in the pot. He placed it on the lid letting it cook. Setting a timer to remind him to check back on it in a little while. Going over to the sink to fill up the tea kettle to make some more tea.

Orochimaru groaned as he was pulled awake from his slumber feeling his nose twitching and his nostrils flaring in irritation. He could feel a sneeze coming on as his breath began to hitched and his eyes watering.

"Ah...Aaaaaaah..."

He sniffed rubbing his nose with his hand trying to prevent the upcoming sneeze. All he wanted was to get some more sleep. Sadly that wasn't going to happen his nose continued quivering and flaring up.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...AaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH..." He continued to inhale as he continued trying to prevent the sneeze. His nostrils were flaring uncontrollably as he rubbed his nose waiting for it to go away, but his nose continued quivering. "AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." He inhaled more sharply at this point he couldn't hold back the upcoming sneeze. His nose continued growing and shrinking over and over. Every gasp he took made his nose tickle even more. He knew that he had no choice but to sneeze. Since he could no longer win the battle against his nose need to sneeze.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Orochimaru head shot forward as he released a long, loud powerful sneeze. A good amount of snot escaping from his nostrils. After a few seconds passed he immediately rubbed his forefinger against his nose, but unfortunately his nose hadn't had its fill of sneezes, and broke into a large and loud sneezing fit.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

After finishing his sneezing fit Orochimaru nose was completely red, mucus running from his nose, tears filling his eyes. He let out a groan as he grabbed some more tissue to blow his nose before he started coughing from the pain his throat was in from sneezing.

"Bless You!" Kabuto said.

"Thanks," Orochimaru groaned resting his head back on the pillow after blowing his nose and throwing away the tissue before he began to drift on back to sleep.

Orochimaru began to slowly open up his eyes from his slumber when he saw Kabuto walking into the room with a tray carrying a bowl soup and cup of more tea. As well as well as the sound four peeking through the door seeing what was going on minus Tauyua.

His stomach growled at the sight of letting him know that it was ready to eat his dinner. Kabuto looked back signaling for the sound four to leave."Go eat dinner you three," He said nodding at them.

They nodded and quickly left.

"Good evening Kabuto," Orichimaru said sniffing and coughing knocking his cool cloth off his forehead. Kabuto place the tray down on the nearby desk, before placeing a hand on Orohcimaru's forehead and he noticed he was less warm at the moment but still looking flushed.

"It seems your fever has gone down, but you still seem congusted with a sore throat," Kabuto said rubbing circles on Orochimaru back to soothe his coughing. He moved his hand once the coughing was done.

"I made you some tomato soup as well as some Mint tea with honey," Kabuto said handing the bowl of soup towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was about to grab the bowl when his nose started to itch and felt a sneeze coming on.

"W-wait...I-t-thihh...I'm gonnahhh...sneh..see.Aaaah..sne..Aaaah," Orochimarau tried to speak but it wasn't working. Kabuto got the message and moved the bowl out of the way.

"Aaaah...Aaaah...Aaaah..." Orohimaru titled his head with each inhaled as Kabuto looked at him corncened. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh..." He continued to inhaled dramatically. "AAAAAAAAAAAH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-!" But after the last inhale there was a long pause rather then the sneeze he was expecting.

Orochimaru's breath was back to normal,but his nose was still itching. He titled his head back to its normal position, and then rubbing it with a tissue.

"Looks like it went away," He said reaching out for the bowl of soup.

"Alright welll then here's your soup," Kabuto said handing him the bowl. "Your tea will be sitting right here on the nightstand.

"Thanks Kabuto-kun," He said taking the bowl of soup.

"Your welcome Orochimaru-sama. Just let me know when you're done and make sure to drink your tea before going back to bed for the night," He said taking the cool washcloth and putting it away in the bathroom, before sitting down in a chair near the desk.

While Orochimaru sat up in his bed picking up his spoon eating his soup. The heat from the soup was nice and soothing on his throat, but not enough to to completely soothe it. He sniffed feeling his nose starting to run a little bit as he ate the soup.

'This is pretty good soup. It feels nice on my sore throat but the tea will probably feel a lot better. Also making my nose unclog with it running. This cold is a set back to my plan to invade the Leaf village during the Chunin exams comimg up next year through.' He thought while eating more of his soup.

After a couple of more minutes Orochimaru was finally done eating his soup. He then grabbed his cup and drank some of the tea which fe!t even better on his sore throat. Placing it back down on the nightstand. He was about to let Kabuto know he was finshed when his nose started quivering and flareing signal his sneeze was back. He placed down the bowl getting ready to cover his upcoming sneeze.

"Aaaaah...Aaaaaaaah...Aaaaaaahhh..." He titled his head back. "Aaaah...Aaaaaaaaahhh..."

The utge to sneeze got stronger with each inhale he took singalimg that the sneeze was going to come out this time.

"Aaaah...Aaaaaaahh...Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh..." He tilted his head back farther each time as his nose continue to quivering and flareing.

He fanned a hand in front of his face as he felt the sneeze close to coming out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOO!" He shot his head forward as he released a massive sneeze into his shirt sleeve. He grabbed a tissue and wipe his nose as he felt another sneeze coming on.

"Aaaaaahh...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaahhhhhhhh-CHOOOO! Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh-CHOOOO!" He then released a double sneeze into his tissue. But his nose still wasn't done sneezing yet.

"Aaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh-CHOOOOO! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...Aaaaaaaahh-CHOOOOO! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh-CHOOOO!Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...Aaaaaaaaaaahhh-CHOOOO!" His chest was beginning to feel like it was caught on gire and couldn't catch his breath as he felt his nose continue quivering and flaring another sneeze coming on.

"

Aaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh...Aaaaaahhh-CHOO! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh-CHOOO!Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh-CHOO!" He panted trying to catch his breath but his nose still wasn't satisfy with the need to sneeze again coming.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh.Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh...Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He finally ended the sneezing fit with a massive loud sneeze covering his tissue with tons of mucus.

His long raven hair was covering his face as he took a while to catch his breath. After breaking into a large sneezing fit. He rubbed his nose and grabbed nore tissue blowing his nose to clear his nose out .

"Wow. Bless you Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto said concern in his voice as he stood up taking the bowl away and placing in on the empty tray.

"Thank you," Orochimaru groaned brushing hair out of his face before drinking more of his tea.

"Welcome," Kabuto said walking into the bathroom.

Orochimaru looked at him confused wondering what he was up to now.

He then felt his nose started to itch again. He could feel his nose quiver, and flareing up. Already knowing a sneeze was coming on again after ending his fit. He grabbed another tissue getting ready to cover.

"Aaahh..." His breath started to hitch. He brought the tissue up to his nose as he tilted his his head back slightly. "Aaaaaaaaaah..." He titled his head back farther as his nostrils kept growing and shrinking over and over. Every gasp making his nose tickle.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He shot his head forward as he released a even more louder,painful,and powerful sneeze then the last few ones covering the tissue in snot with just one single sneeze.

He panted trying to catch his breath agin after releasing such a sneeze. He then toss the tissue into the trash can and lay back down on his bed exhausted and rubbing his head before drinking more his tea. Anoying the footsteps of his subordinates walking through the halls getting ready for bed.

"Goodness bless you!" Kabuto started. "That sounded like quite a painful sneeze," He finshed holding up a pill bottle in his left hand.

"Thank you," Orovhimatu groaned rubbing his nose.

"Your welcome take one of these pills it should help with your sneezing and your other symptoms," He said putting a pill in his hand and giving it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sat up taking the pill and grabbing his tea about to take it. When a knock was heard on his bedroom door.

"Who is it?" Kabuto asked as Orochimaru put the pill in hia mouth swallowing it down with his tea.

"It's me Kimimaro Kabuto-sensei," Kimimaro replied from outside the door.

"What do you need at this hour Kimimaro?" Kabuto asked.

"I wanted to know if everything was okay in here. Is Orochimaru-sama okay. Tayuya mentioned that he was sick," Kimimaro said cracking the door opened.

Kabuto looked at Orochimaru as he continued to drink his cup of tea. "I just gave him some medicine. His fever has gone down for now. He should be okay for the rest of the night, but I see how he feels again in the morning," Kabuto said grabbing the tray and taking the cup of tea once he was done drinking it.

Alright then see you in the morning goodnight," Kimimaro said.

"Night Kimimaro," Kabuto replied.

"Goodnight Kimi-kun," Orochimaru said laying back down on his bed.

The door then closed and Kimimaro footsteps could be heard walking away probably back to his room.

"Goodnight Orochimaru-sama see you in the morning," Kabuto said as he walked towards the door.

"Goodnight Kabuto-kun," Orochimaru said as he drifted off to sleep.
